Phase 7: This is the next downstream Phase that has not been completed (except for Phase 4B, described below). This phase is also a priority because it has high public use (Racetrack Pond).
Phases 13 /14: Phase 13 includes Arrowstone Park in Deer Lodge which has high public use. Phase 14 is a small area contiguous with Phase 13. These Phases will be completed concurrently with Phases 10 /11.
Phases 10, 11 & 12: These phases have the highest risk of contamination reaching the river, based on erosion rates, and are considered to pose the most acute risk to aquatic habitat. They also have “relatively high” amounts of contamination, so completing these Phases earlier results in “substantial progress” toward the overall cleanup. Work in these phases would share a single infrastructure of haul roads as they can all be accessed from Sager Lane.
Phase 4B: The next downstream Phase after Phases 10, 11 and 12 have been completed.
Phases 8 & 9: The next downstream Phases after 4B. These Phases will have provided refuge for fish and wildlife during and after construction of Phases 7, 10, 11, and 12.
Phases 17 through 22: These are the remaining downstream Phases. A large proportion of these Phases are under single ownership, so some of them may be combined to save costs on design and construction infrastructure.
